Way back when I was first learning to cook, we didn’t have all the modern conveniences that are at our disposal today. No microwaves or convection ovens No pre-packaged, pre-measured, pre-seasoned foods. No bottles of spice blends or sauces or all the other things we have today. We were on our own. It might also be why some of the foods I ate growing up were either over-cooked or under-cooked and at times bland. A little salt. A little pepper. That was about it. Sometimes we forget how to do things all on our own with all the modern conveniences. Sometimes it’s okay to forget.

Cut broccoli int individual pieces. Place broccoli, seasoning and butter in a micro-wave safe plastic bag. Sprinkle with a little water, seal shut with a small slit to vent.
Microwave on HIGH 3 minutes.
Carefully open the bag (it will be steaming hot) and empty broccoli int a serving dish. Toss to evenly coat in seasoned butter and serve.
